Amazing what we remember too. My dad's last words to me was " you need a bigger boat"
God Bless our Dads,AND Moms. I have been lucky in life because of the start I got from them. I also grew up in a time where I could walk out into the country and fish (1945) when I was 6, with out my parents worrying about some idiot harming me, at least where I lived.

I'm a bit younger than you. But I lived a " leave it to beaver" childhood. Cutting grass for neighbors so I could walk to the movies on a Saturday or by my first Zebco. I may be naive but I want to believe that most people are good and a lot of this can still be true.
Now would I let my grandkids walk the mile to the movies now?... Sadly no! I maybe naive but not stupid

Oh yea I had a bunch of jobs around the house as well as my other jobs. Of the many paper routes, some were early morning routes, so on those Sat/Sunday routes when Dad and I were going fishing, Dad and I would get up at 2 am and I got driven on the route. I picked special "weeds" for a company to make heart meds, peeled Cascara bark for them to make Laxative, set bowling pins before automatic machines came along with some trustee kids from a reformatory located a block from my home. I worked in a shoe shop shining shoes, was a real lark to have a drunk logger come in with his corks on wanting a shine. I remember one home job as a kid where I thought at the time that I was mistreated. While all my friends were down at the creek skinny dipping, I was home painting siding. You see there was a shake mill in town that had a fire that burned part of the plant. Dad got a really good deal on shake siding that had a sorta insulated backing. The problem is, they were all different colors. So there I stood in the garage with a couple of Saw Horses painting a whole fairly large house full of siding with gray paint. The big problem with this operation was when they were all painted, you could set a bunch out side by side and see that they were showing a little different shade because some of the shakes were green, blue, yellow, etc, SO I had to paint them all a second time doing a normal kid thing, GRIPING", LOL. Looking back I am glad I had to care for the garden, chickens, rabbits, mowing the lawn etc, besides all the none home jobs, was good for me! I was lucky. I had it good even if we didn't have much.

That's a nice stringer of trout! I am going to ask a stupid question. Wild or stocked?

That is a great picture! they are really hard fighters. Down fishing fishing out of San Felipe in a Panga with my Son and a guide who couldn't speak english, but he could say at least one thing when we got one on, REEL REEL REEL, so we could keep them out of the rocks and what not on the bottom, very powerful.

With Yellowtail that's a universal language. Adrian's yellowtail rocked him then wrapped around kelp stringers. It doesn't work all the time but putting the reel in free spool takes pressure off the hook. They then don't feel the tension and swim free. He was lucky, when the fish swam away from the boat I said "REEL REEL REEL". That picture was the result.
